Drivability Gremlin killed.
Problem was lack of power at part throttle especially on hills.
I replaced chacoal canister purge solenoid one port was broken off. I had a vacuum leak whenever solenoid activated to purge vapor, part throttle cruise.
Headache was compounded by ECM control wich leans mixture when purging vapors from canister.
Now Bronco will pull hills with light throttle and no downshifting.
Tomorrow I will upgrade the coil and check timing to make sure their are no other little gremlins lurking.
No computer codes for this problem either.

I've only got 60 miles on test of repair, engine is 351. I'm not sure if I will see an mileage change or not.
Just glad this little headache is gone so I can get to other mods.
Simple repair I was thinking about it too much
and should have done a little more reading in my Ford Fuel Injection Manual. I could have figured it out long ago.
Part was $17.00 from Napa "Brother in law price" listed for about $37.00.
It is simple install two vacuum ports and two prong wire plug in right between throttle body and charcoal canister..
I feel stupid for not finding it earlier.
